Revue de presse

This handbook is not just for academics; individuals in business and education will enjoy it, as will anyone interested in the state of the 'creativity and innovation' art. It covers the basics and most chapters lead directly to practical implications. Included here are 'best practices' for managers who wish to support creativity and innovation. The difficulties of managing and teaching creative individuals are acknowledged, as are cultural differences, and, very importantly, differences among fields, domains, and disciplines. At least as impressive as the coverage of this volume is the fact that each chapter in this volume is well-connected to current scholarly research. An impressive volume, all around, and one that offers ideas that have been tested and can be trusted. --Mark Runco, Professor, University of Georgia. Founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Creativity Research Journal

Taking the cross-cutting themes of creativity and innovation, this book provides a valuable review of the conceptual underpinnings surrounding creativity and innovation before investigating and applying such concepts in a number of different educational, management and engineering settings. The reader is provided with a rich set of case studies, including in-depth sectoral and national comparisons, before the book concludes with a forward look of where management practices in creativity and innovation will be going in the future. --Jeremy Howells, Visiting Fellow, Kellogg College, University of Oxford, UK

For our clients from start-ups to global enterprises, unlocking the creative and innovative potential of their organizations is essential to survive and compete. This handbook has done an excellent job in bringing theory and practice of innovation management from different disciplines together. I highly recommend this book to anybody who is interested in improving and unleashing creativity, innovation and business success within themselves and their organizations. --Mark Mueller-Eberstein, Founder and CEO of the Adgetec Corporation
